USB plug in recognition

Hey, you may recall answering a question with this answer:

"This is Romeet, id like to help you with the problem. Unfortunately it seems a lot of things that you love :) wont work right? well, Let me know if you are running windows xp with what service pack? service pack 1 or service pack 2? to do this, right click the icon " My Computer " and select properties,a system properties dialog will open, on the top right you should be able to see:

System:Microsoft Windows XPProfessional / Home ( Depends what you have )Version ( 2002 )Service Pack X ( X could be 1 or 2 )check this and let me know"

I have a very similar conflict and was wondering if you could assist me as well.

These are my specs:System:Microsoft Windows XPHomeVersion 2002 Service Pack 2

any advice or suggestions you have would be VERY helpful! I've tried almost everything and nothing seems to work. I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-W130, and when I connect it to my Dell Inspiron B130, it makes a chime that signals that the device is recognized, however it is not recognized as a camera (rather, a "mass storage device") and I have no way of accessing it.

Re: USB plug in recognition

If your computer is running kind of sluggish, you can fix it with an easy clean up of your registry. Here's a link to a free scan that works well:www.your-free-info.com/RegCure
I've used this one and it sped up my computer by quite a bit. Hopefully this helps.

To be honest, I am not sure if your post/query was intended for me. However, it shows up in my queue so i couldn't escape it. I will take a shot at the last part.

Sony DSC-W130 has 15MB Integrated Memory and support for Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo cards. Generally unless you install the software for the CybershotDSC-W130, Windows XP/Vista will pick it up as a Mass Storage Device.

The Mass Storage Device emulation allows you access to pictures/video taken; copy, move, delete etc. If you can do these, then the DSC-W130 is working as designed.

However, if there pictures on the DSC-W130 but you are unable to access it, then that is a worry and a poblem. Note if you have a memory stick installed. The internal memory will be inaccessible. You will have to remove the memory stick before the internal memory initialises and is accessible

I am afraid I am not an expert on Sony DSC-W130. My response is best effort

I read a few answers to your problem, one is if it came with a "Y" style pigtail for the USB you need to connect both USB plugs,second that model has a improper alloy in its soldered connections and there is some soer of recall underway,try consumer reports for more information on the recall,mentioned something like a 100.00 refund avail. on certain models,good luck,Gary
